GisholarshipThese are limited, so please only use this tier if you absolutely require financial aid. PLEASE NOTE INDIVIDUALS WHO REGISTER AT THIS TIER ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE “MISHA MAY CALL ME” PROMOTION.

If you can’t afford $21.08 you may apply for a Gisholarship. Gisholarships will be voluntarily gifted by other participants granting free registration. Gishwhes will then match those gifts. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that all requests will be fulfilled, so there is no guarantee that your application will result in a grant. You may not be notified that you have received a Gisholarship until after registration has ended, in which case you would not be able to choose a team and will be assigned to a random one.

Ok. Ive changed my mind

I would still like to apply for a Gisholarship
